Vintage 30s Hat Display Stands Pair of 2, Painted Blue Wooden VFG
These vintage hat display stands are so charming! They would have been used in a millinery shop or department store. This listing is for a matched pair - they most likely date to the 1930s. They are made of wood that looks like fine grain pine from underneath the base. Except for the underbase, they are fully painted in a dark shade of turquoise.
Size:
Standing on flat surface - 9.25" tall (23.5 cm)
Diameter of base - 3.85" (9.75 cm)
Diameter of knob - 2.25" (3.75 cm)
Condition: Sturdy. The "knob" of one stand is loose enough that it can be removed by a little twisting. There is minor paint chipping and small discolorations here and there as might be expected in something of this age.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
